SCOPE

Over the last two decades, many organizations and individuals have
relied on electronic
collaboration between distributed teams of humans, computer
applications, and/or autonomous robots
to achieve higher productivity and produce joint products that would
have been impossible to develop
without the contributions of multiple collaborators. Technology has
evolved from standalone tools to
open systems supporting collaboration in multi-organizational settings,
and from general purpose
tools to specialized collaboration grids. Future collaboration solutions
that fully realize the
promises of electronic collaboration require advancements in networking,
technology and systems,
user interfaces and interaction paradigms, and interoperation with
application-specific components
and tools.

The 6th International ICST Conference on Collaborative Computing
(CollaborateCom 2010) will continue
to serve as a premier international forum for discussion among academic
and industrial researchers,
practitioners, and students interested in collaborative networking,
technology and systems, and
applications.

PUBLICATION

All accepted papers will be made available in IEEE Xplore. A special
issue on CollaborateCom 2010
will be published in ACM/Springer MOBILE NETWORKS & APPLICATIONS
(MONET). 4-6
papers on the themes related to MONET will be selected for publication
in this issue.
Other journal venues are also being pursued.

***

SUBMISSION

We invite original research papers that have not been previously
published and are not currently
under review for publication elsewhere. Contributions addressing all
areas related to collaborative
networking, technology and systems, and applications are solicited. The
submitted manuscript should
closely reflect the final paper as it will appear in the Proceedings.
Submitted papers should be 10
pages in two-column IEEE proceeding format.

All submitted papers and posters will be rigorously reviewed by
technical program committee members
and the reviewers they invite. All paper, poster, panel, and workshop
submissions will be handled
electronically. Please visit the conference website for detailed
submission requirements and
procedures.

***

WORKSHOPS

Proposals for half-day or full day workshops that focus on
CollaborateCom 2010 related themes are
solicited. Workshop proposals should be at most five pages, including a
biographical sketch of
each instructor, and submitted to the Workshop Chairs. Proposals will be
evaluated based on the
expertise and experience of the organizers and the relevance and
importance of the subject matter.

***

POSTERS

The conference will include a poster session that highlights recent and
ongoing research,
experiments, and provocative ideas that have not been published
elsewhere. Poster submissions will
be reviewed and one page summaries of accepted posters will appear in
the conference proceedings.

***

PANELS

Proposals for panel discussions that focus on future visions for
collaborative networking,
applications, and worksharing are preferred. Potential panel organizers
should submit a panel
proposal of at most five pages, including biographical sketches of the
proposed panelists to the
Panel Chairs.

***

TUTORIALS

Proposals for full and half-day tutorials are solicited. Tutorials are
intended to enhance the
technical program, and as such they should be relevant to collaborative
computing, networking,
worksharing, and applications. Potential tutorial presenters should
submit a tutorial proposal of
at most three pages, including: description of potential audience and
background knowledge expected
from the audience, if any; tutorial description; biographical sketch of
presenter(s).

***

IMPORTANT DATES

We encourage that potential authors to submit their title and abstract
beforehand.

Paper submission deadline: 15 July 2010
Posters and panel proposal submission deadline: 1 July 2010
Notification of acceptance: 18 August 2010
Camera-ready submission deadline: 30 August 2010

STUDENT TRAVEL GRANT

Thanks to our sponsors, 8 Student Travel Grant Awards will be available
for graduate students.
Preference will be given to those presenting their work at the
conference.
